Polymorphisms within the Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase 1B (PTPN1) Gene Promoter: Functional Characterization and Association with Type 2 Diabetes and Related Metabolic Traits

Abstract

The PTPN1 promoter variants -1023C>A and -51delA (which appears to be functional) were not associated with T2D or related traits in this study but must be investigated in a larger population to reveal any potential metabolic association.
